Editorial Focus

The Tusculum Review is a community of professional and undergraduate writers. Student editors develop crucial skills in the art of literary publication. The editors seek and publish thought-provoking writing from a diversity of international voices and experiences, both established and emerging. The journal publishes four genres—drama, fiction, nonfiction, poetry—and promotes writers and artists outside and inside of academic/publishing circles.

Tips From the Editor

We seek well-crafted writing that takes risks. We publish work in and between all genres: poetry, fiction, essays, and plays. We appreciate work in experimental and traditional modes.

Poetry Editor Joshua L. Martin is most intrigued by poems that harness rhythm and imagery to carry compelling narratives. Nonfiction Editor Desirae Matherly is partial to nonfiction that tips toward essay rather than straightforward memoir. Drama Editor Wayne Thomas appreciates plays helmed by characters with deep yearnings. Fiction Editor Kelsey Trom seeks stories that are lush, immersive, and urgent.

Our annual chapbook contest rotates through the genres on a four-year cycle. Our 2025 contest will be for fiction. For contest guidelines, visit the website.
